Each year, residents select speakers to present at departmental grand rounds. Speaker honoraria and travel expenses are funded by the department.

Neurology grand rounds

Grand rounds are held weekly in collaboration with neurosurgery, neuropathology, neuro-ophthalmology and neuroradiology. This interdisciplinary conference reflects the collaborative culture of WashU Medicine, bringing multiple specialties together to discuss complex cases and patient care. Visiting professors and guest speakers regularly contribute additional expertise and perspectives.
